3. 2. BRIDGE EDGE BEAM : NON-LINEAR ANALYSIS OF REINFORCEDCONCRETE OVERHANG SLAB BY FINITEELEMENT METHOD

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Saima Yaqoob; [2017]
   Keywords : Bridge edge beam system; edge beam; overhang slab; structural analysis; non-linear finite element modelling; shear force; bending moment; distribution width; failure mode.;

   Abstract : Bridge edge beam system is an increasing concern in Sweden. Because it is the mostvisible part of the structure which is subjected to harsh weather. The edge beamcontributes to the stiffness of overhang slab and helps to distribute the concentratedload. READ MORE

4. 3. Development of a Bridge SteelEdge Beam Design : FE Modelling for a Vehicle Collision andCase Study

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Diego Ramos Sangrós; [2015]
   Keywords : steel edge beam; collision analysis; edge beam development; bridge edge beam system; finite element modeling.;

   Abstract : The degradation of bridge edge beam systems in Sweden entailed the study of new alternativedesigns, which may become more optimal from a life-cycle perspective than the currenttypical solution used (concrete integrated). Subsequently, a U-shaped steel edge beamproposed by the consulting engineering group Ramböll was considered by the SwedishTransport Administration for its use in a real bridge project. READ MORE

5. 4. Design of Edge Beams

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Ezdin Duran; [2014]
   Keywords : Edge Beams;

   Abstract : The purpose of the edge beam is to support the railing and the pavement, function as part of the drainage system and in the case it is integrated into the bridge deck it can serve to distribute concentrated loads. It is located in road environment and therefore exposed to water and salt with chlorides as well as subject to impacts during accidents. READ MORE

6. 5. Edge Beams : Evaluation of the Investment Cost for Its Application to Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

   University essay from KTH/Byggvetenskap

   Author : Martti Kelindeman; [2014]
   Keywords : bridge edge beam; investment cost; prefabrication;

   Abstract : Edge beams in Sweden are subjected to harsh environmental conditions, such as de-icing salts and numerous freeze-thaw cycles, which result in large expenditures for the maintenance of these items. Driven by that fact, a project was initiated to investigate the life of edge beams in more detail. READ MORE
